Is anyone else really anxious? I feel like we're counting down to liftoff. Point of no return. There will be everything before Lost, and then everything after Lost. And we're on the point in between.

I don't have much to do until he finale, so I'm rewatching (what I can) of season 6.

Noticed Jack gets one bottle of Vodka in the flash-sideways, and two bottles in the original timeline from the pilot, where he uses the extra as a first aid supply on the island. It's like in the flash-sideways, he wasn't going to need the extra bottle, so *that* universe didn't give it to him. Hmm...

Something that I think may have failed to be discussed in the hoopla of the candidate stuff is what role, if any, did Jacob play with the events of the incident. Is he aware a nuke was set off on his island? An event which actually sent some people to the future.

Jacob knew where Jack woke up on the island, surely he has to be aware of these events, right? I mean the Losties at least deserve a pat on the back, yet he never said anything.

Juliet regains conciseness and mutters to James about getting coffee, going dutch. James then gets her attention, "It's me." She then snaps to, as if from a trance, and then tells James to kiss her. Then, she tells James she has something important to say, which is that "it worked."

They were foreshadowing the importance of physical touch in connection to realizing the other side even in the premiere! Just like Desmond touching Penny, Juliet flashes to other side briefly, verifying the feeling she had after being unconscious.

I think they confirmed it either in the podcast or in one of the interviews that the reason some of the Losties ended up in the 70s was due to the fact that they were not able to recreate the conditions of the crash closely enough and as Ms Hawkings had said that the results would be unpredictable if they weren't able to do so. Some of the losties ending up in the 70s was a result of this unpredictability.
